Section 43201 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1, 2025) would have imposed a 10-year moratorium on state AI laws. The Senate stripped it on a 99-1 vote on July 1, 2025 — the most significant failed federal preemption attempt against state AI regulation. The OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025 without the AI moratorium.
Who is protected: State legislative authority over AI policy preserved
